Not just another shootout

The news of the Virginia shootout came as a shock to many. 23 deaths caused by just one person. It created a great buzz. But how many people will actually show as much concern to the massacres in Baghdad. To her citizens, it is just another day. One can easily point out that the difference in the so called "value" of lives in different nations.

Don't get me wrong. I am not saying that the Virginia shootout is insignificant or we should not grieve over such situations. I am just hoping that people will shift their sights on what are the other worse events happening in other war torn countries. Is there really a value difference between americans' lives and the muslims in Iraq? Is it true that people living with higher standards should have a higher value? I hope that people will put this incident behind them and take a better look at the world that is consumed by violence and agony.

Instead of posting commentaries on the Virginia massacre, i think people should channel their efforts to provide aid to other poorer countries which has thousands dying daily. They start movements, mass funerals. These events need astronomical sums of money. Does it help at all to commemorate someone who is dead? Would not it be better if it is channeled to better uses for example, use it for charitable causes.

Speaking of which, there is something to be learned from this virginia shootout. Why and how the Korean was able to plot and execute sucah a scale of massacre? It all goes down to the living conditions of an immigirant in a foreign country. Even in this so called liberal world of ours, people are still being discriminated, being deemed as parasties of the society who grab the opportunites of the locals. What should be changed is the attitude of how locals should look and treat the migrants.And by the way there is no gene that will decide what race we are which means we are all actually of the same kind. Hence, everyone deserves an equal right to where we want to stay. Another point is the availability of guns. Why is it that guns are made available to common folk? Is it for sercurity or is it a threat posed among people? I think all of you should know the answer.

In conclusion, I feel that people should not just say how sad the massacre is but instead, look out into the world and use events happened as lesson and use htme to create a better world.
